In our 6-week program, you’ll learn to recognize and change your relationship patterns and build genuine connection. Developed by psychologists.













Most people think: “To feel less lonely, I just need to meet more people.”
So they join clubs. Swipe through dating apps. Endure networking events.
Always new faces, yet the feeling of loneliness stays.
Why?
Because you believe loneliness comes from the outside. But it actually starts within.
Studies show that more social contacts don’t automatically mean less loneliness [1] [2].
You can have 200 contacts in your phone and no one to truly talk to.
Loneliness stems from ingrained patterns of thought and behavior that sabotage you from the inside.
Only when you create space for closeness can real relationships grow.
And that’s exactly what platoniq does in just 5 minutes a day, all in one app through three interlocking pillars.

"The challenges have noticeably changed my daily life. Starting conversations is easier now, and I notice people approaching me more often."
Discover what truly drives closeness, trust, and connection. How do deep relationships form? What holds them together?


Through guided reflection exercises, you question your inner beliefs. You’ll see: What’s holding me back? What needs to change? And where do I start?
Practical everyday challenges turn theory into action. Take small, safe steps from giving an authentic compliment to setting healthy boundaries.



Many emotions don’t arise from situations themselves, but from the thoughts behind them.
When you think, “I’m not interesting,” you automatically feel insecure and withdraw.
This is exactly where cognitive restructuring comes in — a proven method from behavioral therapy.
It helps you question those thoughts: “Is this really true? Or just an old pattern?”
It sounds simple. But it isn’t.
These thought patterns are deeply rooted often since childhood or formed by painful experiences.
platoniq offers a system that guides you step by step integrating this scientifically proven method into your daily life.
In a completely free 15-minute conversation with our psychologist Dr. Silvan Hornstein, you can ask all the questions on your mind without obligations.

"I wish for a society where social health is promoted just as naturally as physical or mental health."
As psychologist with a PhD (Oxford University, HU Berlin, FU Berlin), Silvan understands the mechanisms behind loneliness. Together with feedback from hundreds of affected individuals, he developed the course content for platoniq to close the gap between science and everyday life.
